Have you ever wondered why all new builds look exactly the same? As the first and ONLY UNESCO City of Design in the US, we fall flat on both architectural vision, standards, and attraction. nytimes.com/2023/01/20/rea…

As of this year Detroit has less than 1mi of dedicated bus rapid transit and less than 8mi of rail btwn the Qline and PeopleMover. This is a policy failure. We will continue to advocate for greater transit investments and policies that support transit innovation.

If we want to provide Detroiters with better service, attract businesses, and attract future investment, we do so by growing our transit network. Rail and bus should be our priorities and yet we've put all our eggs in the AV/EV basket. We need better. economyleague.org/resources/detr…

Eliminating parking minimums in Detroit is a conversation that is long overdue. Not only will it allow for better use of land but helps provide affordable housing, expansion of transit, and it relieves burden on taxpayers to get things done. e360.yale.edu/features/free-…

People earning more than $100,000 comprise 71% of the national spending on entertainment fees and admissions. More than a third (35%) of the spending is by people earning more than $200,000.

A reminder that in 2014 a county executive admitted to a deliberate, multi-decade scheme to embargo the City of Detroit. Detroiters not only deserve an apology but some form of economic restitution for irreparable harm done. newyorker.com/magazine/2014/…

How we provide and enforce tax abatements in this city needs to be revamped. As $$$ amounts for developments grow and the need to ensure community benefits before, during, and after construction, our approach to these asks matter.

Alternative headline: When billionaire makes pitch on mass transit, people listen. Kudos to all the transit advocates who work tirelessly on elevating the needs of expanding mass transit for Detroit and the region. crainsdetroit.com/transportation…

That's right! We're less about gen. revenue & more so about extended producer/user responsibility. Detroit taxpayers shoulder the burden of environmental and fiscal costs that non-residents place on city resources and to that end we have an obligation to offset those costs.

.@CMAWCalloway is pushing for an amusement tax to generate revenue and offset the public service costs for entertainment venues like LCA, Fox Theatre, Ford Field and Comerica Park. It would require changes in state law.

@DE_Gifford This is an amazing street design, the only issue is a BUS ONLY lane is no longer a BUS ONLY lane even if used to test autonomous vehicles. Can only imagine this disrupting transit services.

Big changes are headed to Corktown Detroit. Estimated at $55 million, supported by a $25 million Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant. Detroit's first Bus Only lanes will also be used to test autonomous vehicles. History 🧵

“Employers who offer high wages, or high job quality, don’t have trouble finding labor. The ones who do are the employers who have trouble keeping up with the market.” @RideDDOT can use a pay raise. Better wages. Better competition. Better transit. fastcompany.com/90945883/bosto…
